Make it Easier
---- -- ------
i'm in search of greener pastures, don't like my
garden's what i said, although i'm working harder
than
last year, i'm still deep in the red, i am rowing
as hard
as i can, and they're selling me up a stream, i'm
always
one more step away from the american dream.  i
got a
chip on my shoulder about the size of a mental
block,
i've got someone on the telephone trying to sell
me a
future in stock, maybe i work too hard to be
happy,
and i should practice letting go, but it's hard
not to
rock the boat when you're sailing against the
undertow.
chorus: i want to slide into the black and wear
the
        black mask, i might not get what i lack,
but it
        doesn't hurt to ask if i want to sail, i
need my
        life to be breezier i said, please, god,
or
        someone, make it easier
i went to sunday school every sunday swallowed
the
bait and i got the hook and when i needed
something
someday i would read the good book.  tell me,
what
does it take to get ahead?  sometimes i know i'd
sell
my soul when it looks like everybody else is
flying,
and i'm crawling in the hole maybe if i open my
own
business, maybe if i buy a lottery ticket,
someone
tell me what is the secret to getting out of the
thicket?
give me more than just a sample, i need a whole
lot of
glory then my life become an example of the
american
success story.
chorus:
